If you see someone crying ask them if it's because of their haircut

International Astronomy show today. Need to find a cheaper hobby, some mind bogglingly expensive set ups. Fully convinced to buy the SeeStar S30 though thanks to the info from First Light Optics, customer recommendations and a lady showing me her images on her phone.

International Astronomy Show tomorrow anyone?

Do I really have to say which one is the before and after picture? Still drop dead gorgeous anyway

O2 are you ripping the piss? My £10 sim only contract now costing £14.30 (that's a 43% increase). At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

Remember when Saturday morning sexercise used to be a thing? Now I just struggle to choose a pair of socks to put on.

Middle age has truly struck. Couldn't resist the urge of buying clothes from Crew Clothing and Joules but have at least managed to resist the temptation of coloured chinos. Small wins people, small wins...

When you've paid for a car service up front already but then they tell you that you need 4 new tyres, front brakes and some other bollocks and suddenly down £660

Had a haircut. Nasal, ear and eyebrows trim declined as the barbers shears do possess the strength to trim such manly ruggedness. Scientist should really investigate the tensile strength of such hairs in men over 50 for scientific breakthroughs. Trust me.

Absolute refusal to get a 3 year phone contract. I think I have finally turned into my Dad.

Popped some wallpaper up with Mrs C. Divorce solicitors, paramedics and UN negotiators can now stand down.

Why the fuck is a standard chocolate bar now only 2 inches long?

Got my first 100 day streak on Wordle and now I think I'm Susie Dent

I know it's a bit 1980s but I've just ordered a beanbag

£9:30 for two hours fucking parking? Never going back to Brighton.

Hammered the bookshop at Scotney Castle. Got books on welding, Haynes manuals on Type 45 Destroyers and Astute class nuclear attack submarines. Just need a shipyard now.

Stopping in Hastings. To be honest, it doesn't look like it's recovered from 1066.

Yes, I know he's looking a little flush and red, he's just been running through Sherwood Forest

Do I really have to point out I'M THE ONE ON THE LEFT

I mean, he's so lifelike, like Frankenstein's monster, reborn as Robin Hood. I'm so proud of him I might formally adopt him. I did create him, I feel a little avuncular towards him

Also tomorrow is also the anniversary of the battle of #Crecy in 1346. The Lord of our parish of #Greasley attended Crecy and defeated the French. Perhaps I could send Robin with his bow, quiver of arrows, sword and aventail
